Jackson Rathbone says Kristen Stewart is a 'powerful force' in 'Breaking Dawn 2'

Jackson Rathbone ("Jasper Hale"), while attending last night's premiere of Man On A Ledge (more on that here), spoke up about what Twilight fans have to look forward to from co-star Kristen Stewart ("Bella Cullen") as a vampire in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2.

Speaking to Hollywood Life, he gushed, "You finally get to see Bella realize herself as a vampire,” he tells us. “And that is fun for everybody. You know she is such a powerful force. Kristen really brings this animosity to Bella that we haven’t seen during the course of these films. It is really exciting to see Kristen step up and really bear her teeth, so to speak.”

Rathbone sure is quick with the puns, isn't he?

Kristen Stewart herself told Box Office Magazine last fall that she quite enjoyed taking on the task of portraying a vampire for Part 2. "It was a strange experience walking on set the first time I played a scene as a vampire because I'd watched everyone around me doing it all the time. I sound so lame, but vampire Bella really is my favorite character—she's very representative of a matriarch. She's very intuitive on almost a psychic level and no one ever acknowledges it, which is interesting," she explained.

She must've done something right because she even impressed Twilight Saga author Stephenie Meyer, who told USA Today last March, "She's created a new character. I was really impressed . . . I've only really seen her as (the human) Bella so to have her step up and change it in the right way — she didn't have to talk to me. She knew. She knows the character so well now. She has really good instincts and, she looks amazing."

So, is this the most exciting part of what's to come from Part 2 for anyone else, or is it just me?
